Frocktober Day Three

"Everything you see I owe to spaghetti"

Sophia Loren said that. Not me - I should be so lucky!

(so lucky, lucky, lucky - get it?

I am on fire this arvo! Ha-ha!)

Ok, so I know the only thing Sophia and I have in common is our love for pasta (truth be told, there's lamb shanks in that pot - not spaghetti!), but I thought I'd include this pic so that you can see our newly painted kitchen cabinetry. It looks so much better now that all that horrible orangey-oak is covered up with (more than!) a few coats of Murobond Dark Night, don't you think? And once those hideous apricot tiles are replaced with some of these babies

﻿

- bearing in mind dash for cash ratio - it's going to look pretty snazzy I reckon!Anyway back to more important things.It's only day three of me poncing about in a frock, and already, between us, we've raised $920.50 for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation! What can I say? You guys rock! Your support and generosity has blown me away and I thank you very much.Special thanks today to these lovely girls: librarygirl, Bron, Sally (check out her sharpies), mmmc and the PipSTAR xxxMaybe you could sponsor me too?It would be wonderful if you could...Do it here. Please.

Today I am wearing a gorgeous frock from the 50's.It is in beautiful vintage condition - if you'd like to buy it just send me a note - as before, I'll spot for postage.The vintage net petticoat I am wearing underneath is also for sale. It is white and in perfect condition. It will make whatever you're wearing puff out very nicely. Indeed. If it's froth, or flounce, or boof you're after, this is the petticoat for you! I'd like $20 for it because I know they're hard to come by, and twenty bucks is a bargain really. *petticoat sold*(all money I raise from selling my frocks will also be donated to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund)One more little thing (and I hope you don't mind me asking), would you please pop a link to my Frocktober posts on your blogs? Or facebook, or whatever it is you hip young things do? I would be extremely grateful if you could. Together we might be able to raise even more than $1000! I hope you'll give it some thought...

I do love a 50s frock and yours is a real beaut. Goddamm it, I have a fair few of those, myself, languishing in my wardrobe. Unfortunately I can't squeeze my ample boobage (and stomach) into them - boo hoo. Oh and we get a glimpse of your kitchen too! Marvellous, I love the look of those tiles. We have the same blue cooking pot btw. I also have the plassie flamingos but they're languishing too (a lot of languishing going on...) without their legs in the garden somewhere. Great pics of you skipping around your plant pot. xx

Kitchen looks great. Absolutely love the tiles and you look wonderful of course. Lovin your frocks and while there's no ample bosom here I still don't like my chances of fitting into any of them. You are fabulous.

Your kitchen is looking fabulous, but really, I can't take my eyes off your wonderful 50s frock! It's glorious with the extra floof of the petticoat underneath. Will definitely link in my next post. Keep it up! xxxx
